The Trip to the Summit of Pikes Peak. The round trip to the summit of Pikes Peak (8.9 miles in length) takes a little over three hours. That includes 30 to 40 minutes at the summit for eating, shopping or simply looking out at the expansive views.
Four notable events take place on the mountain each year. The Pikes Peak Ascent and Marathon, a 26-mile round trip foot race up Barr Trail and then back down each August, draws thousands of runners from all over the world. The current Pikes Peak Marathon record, which was set in 1993, is 3 hours 16 minutes 30 seconds. The second event, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb is a race on the 12.42-mile road, which starts around the 6 1/2 mile mark on the highway. In 2013, Sebastian Loeb set a new record of 8 minutes 13.878 seconds.
